Yoko Taro: Multiple Projects Since Nier: Automata Were Canceled Before Reveal

He says the cancellations reflect a choice to avoid releasing work that does not feel right.

Overview

  • Speaking at G-CON 2025 in South Korea, he said many recent projects he worked on were discontinued mid-development.
  • He addressed fan jokes that he "isn't doing anything," stressing that unfinished work simply never reached the public.
  • He noted he was paid for the shelved efforts and said he has no personal issue with the cancellations.
  • He emphasized his quality bar, saying, "If I'm going to release something weird, I'd be better off not releasing anything at all."
  • The remarks were reported by 4Gamer and translated by Automaton, and no new titles were announced or named, though past reports have cited a mobile project and a Nier remake.
